Utility Cost Recovery Experts

Who We Are

Introduction and Overview

Community Utility Billing Services (CUBS) is a utility submetering and billing company that specializes in submetering and allocation of water, gas and electric utilities throughout the United States. In response to rising utility costs, the Multifamily Ancillary Group formed California Utility Billing Services in June of 2007 to address specific issues in the Utility Cost Recovery business. We found that local billing companies often lacked the resources needed to perform billing services for larger clients while the existing national providers rarely understood all of the local nuances that were essential to maximizing programs in the California region. Our cost recovery plan quickly gained recognition outside California and soon it was time for a name change.

In 2010, we changed from California Utility Billing Services to Community Utility Billing Services, reflecting the broadened geographical scope of multiple regions. Although our business was born in California, we wanted to apply our regional mode of capabilities and services to benefit management companies and residents everywhere.

CUBS now ranks as one of the nation's leading providers for utility billing, cost monitoring,
payment processing, comprehensive reporting and complete training programs with unparalleled customer service.

From start to finish, you can count on a seamless, integrated utility billing process. We will provide excellent recapture rates and unparalleled resident satisfaction supported by a bi-lingual call center.
